We rent our 90 sqm house located in the village of Felicetu (north east cost of Corsica). The sea is only at 14km (l'Ile-Rousse) and from our house you can easily reach all nice small villages around.
The house is in a very quiet area, surrounded by the nature. Ideal to have a rest, enjoy Corsica and be not far from the sea. The house is well equiped: air conditioning, all what you need in the kitchen, barbecue, deckchair...
The pool is secured for the childrens.

The advantage of the location is that you are close to sea but at the same time in very quiet location (which is not the case on the cost during summer notably). There are plenty of nice small villages around.
The house is surrounded by "the maquis", the local vegetation.
The swimming pool is only for this house, so you won't be disturbed. The pool is secured (there is a fence) so childrens can't access by themself.
The size of the pool is 6,5m*3,5m and 1,40 depth.
You can park your car just in front of the house.
The 2 double bedroom have their own bathroom.

Felicetu is a small village in Corsica, near Calvi and L'Ile-Rousse, in the area of Balagne. Here you'll find authenticity of Corsica.

We felt in the neighborhood very well, like we sat in the garden and have breakfast while enjoying the mountain panorama. On arrival, we had difficulty finding the property, as a tip: it is right next to the hotel "Charming".

This old barn owned by the family was arranged in 2005. Villa in a large park, planted with fruit trees and amenity, fenced, with private parking and private pool. 2 terraces, over the pool deck.

pleasant welcome, in a house carefully restored, with a magnificent view of the village of Feliceto from the terraces. The house is very pleasant, having a bathroom in each room is a very positive point. We have not been hot enough to enjoy the pool (damage) but sunshine allowed us to take our meals and relax on the terraces surrounding the house.

House very large and very nice village in the heart of Balagne. Lots of charm and tasteful decoration. Magnificent view on each floor. For lovers of Corsica or those who aspire to become ... Very welcome of Elizabeth and her son.

Denis2015-07-09T00:00:00Z

Beautiful home overlooking the mountains. Typical Corsican house in a beautiful village. Perfect for a family vacation and a great experience in Balagne away from the crowd of Calvi.

Maximilien2015-08-23T00:00:00Z

We talked on the phone with Elizabeth and met her son Stefano who waited for us (for quite a while as we got a bit lost!) at the entrance of the village to show us around the house. The house is very cosy and quaint, with wood beams on the ceiling and cabinets built into the white washed walls. It has a small garden overlooking the mountains where we made BBQ. The top floor bedroom has a balcony. We could see so many stars when we were there. Ground floor bedroom has a bathroom with shower just outside. Mezzanine bedroom has a walk-in closet, ensuite bathtub and sink but no toilet. The top floor bedroom has a bathroom with bathtub next to it. Washing machine and dryer are also in this room. The sitting room is cosy and spacious but since its on the top floor, we used mainly the dining room on the ground floor. The kitchen is large and fully equipped with stove, oven and dishwasher. Cassano is a small village where bread and charcuterie vans visit on certain days of the week. There's a big mulberry tree in the village parking square which gives most delicious mulberries we ever had. The roads on one route up to the village are quite windy but another route through Zilia is easier for those who get car sick easily. We bought our supplies of fruits and other things from a small shop in Zilia. All in Cassano is a good base to explore Calvi, Ile Rousse and lower parts of Cap Corse. Maison de Charme is for those who, like us, prefer to stay in houses with character and unique style rather than modern apartments in the city.

Waan2014-07-01T00:00:00Z

Elisabeth's son, Dominic, was wonderful at making us feel welcome and accommodating our requests. The house was very unique and charming, a stunning location. I would definitely recommend staying here. One caveat is that the ceilings in certain rooms and doorways are very low so tall people beware.

Adam2014-09-15T00:00:00Z

Very nice house and very nice inside. Gorgeous views and It feels great and it's hard to leave. The village is very cute and a great restaurant! For those who want to enjoy Calvi but also the wine route, take walks etc.

Hubert2014-07-15T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful and relaxing week in Elisabeth's beautiful stone house with a spectacular view of the mountain range. Our hostess was very friendly and helpful. The outdoor areas, the balcony and front terrace, however, could have used a little more care and attention (plants were dead for lack of water). Still, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Volker2016-08-21T00:00:00Z

Very nice surprise for our first time in Corsica. House charming, beautifully decorated and very spacious. 20 min from Calvi. Great!

Sibylle2014-08-25T00:00:00Z

really unusual house in a small village in Corsica. The house has a special charm, the decor is subtle, the rooms are spacious, the small terrace on top is a delight for the evening meal. For lovers of old stones and authentic atmosphere. Warning against by the stairs to move from one floor to another.

We loved Muro and the comfortable apartment. Marco put a lot of artistic thought into-- and it has paid off. We will be sure to recommend his home to our friends who come to Corsica.

Sam2017-04-13T00:00:00Z

Very nice apartment located in a house of the fifteenth. The place has lots of charm and is very comfortable. The breakfast terrace is worth its weight in gold;) Marco is very kind. It welcomes you with cakes, coke and beer and offered good advice is always to discover the area. I will return with great pleasure!

François2015-05-10T00:00:00Z

Marco is a great host, rider, very available. It is a pleasure to talk with him. His apartment remakes of his hands is really nice, well equipped and with beautiful views of the surrounding mountains in a beautiful Corsican village. Marco offered to leave later to wait for warm start time of the boat. What we enjoyed. A small welcome gift (wine + terrine figatelli) appreciated too! One can not really wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful place.

Pierre-Yves 2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

Marco is a very welcoming and friendly host. He was able to arrange to times of arrival and departure for us to wait a minimum. He is always available if needed. Many documents are available to explore the area. This allowed us to properly plan our week. The cottage is tastefully renovated as new and we enjoyed the variety of utensils and equipment. We have lacked nothing. The terrace and mountain views are beautiful and the location allowed us to enjoy both the sea and the mountain. A week that is not soon forget. Dawn and Driss

An apartment unusual for a rental. This apartment breathes the love of things well made and especially taste. A passionate work of the stone. Marc is a very welcoming host, accessible and considerate of her "clients"! We ask ourselves, are discussed. Some attention was ours arrive, the charm of the house and we have hardly want to leave. An elf filled route races, tours, restaurants ... It is certain that we will come back there!

And what about the meals in the garden "Zen" well equipped, facing the hilltop village of San Antonino!

Very old but fully resaurée, this house will seduce you with its size, its authentic vaults and noble materials. Located in a small village, this house is close to both the sea and away from the crowd.

Houses with a general spaces, fully equipped and carefully restored. Everyone can relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the mountains or enjoy the pleasures of the sea, very close (15 min drive). Rooms floors and lime plasters are pleasant. The thick walls keep it cool despite the summer heat. The large terrace with barbecue and furniture, allows to enjoy the late afternoon, after returning from the beach.

This authentic village, both near the sea and away from the noise and summer jams, has many facilities: snack bar, bread, a family pizzeria restaurant. There is also a small shop of Corsican products in the village just beside.

We left family with two teenagers and two children three years. The house is very pleasant. We loved the decor and more generally the spirit in which this house has been completely redone. The choice of this village a little removed from the sea was almost by accident but could not be better. Both close to Calvi and the sea (15 minutes), offering a village life and beautiful scenery, the evening at the foot of Monte Grosso. The area is beautiful. Our hosts did everything to make our stay.

Fabrice2016-08-05T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing stay in this house, which is a delight to live in. It is large and feels large. It has a very good feel, a nice terrace and a fantastic kitchen. The village of Cassano is very beautiful with an amazing view on the surrounding mountains. We would definitely come back!

Maison les Calanches is a traditional granite built house set within the picturesque village of Speloncato.
Spectacularly situated overlooking the Regino valley, Take your meals on the balcony or eat al fresco in the garden and enjoy outstanding views across the valley to the sea.
The house has been recently refurbished to a high standard. The thick granite walls keep it cool in the summer and the wood burning stove keeps it warm and cosy in the cool of the winter evenings

The well equipped kitchen provides a fridge, washing machine, dishwasher and microwave, plenty of cupboard space and a wine rack.
The spacious lounge/dining room is comfortably furnished with sofa, easy chairs, a traditional chestnut dining table and a wood burning stove.
On the first floor there is a double bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The twin bedroom has adjoining shower room with toilet.
To the side of the house is a terraced garden where one can eat al fresco, enjoy a glass of wine and watch the spectacular sunsets in the quiet of the evening.
Winter lets: The property is available all the year round. The winter months may be of interest to intrepid walkers or those who just want to escape the rat race for a while. Some restaurants and bars close during the winter months but there are still many places open for the local people particularly in I'llle Rousse and Calvi. The weather is changeable. You could experience high winds, thunderous lightning storms and If you're lucky you may get snow. Extreme weather can be exciting in the mountains. The wood burning stove in the property creates a warm and cosy atmosphere and wood can be collected from the garden, locally or purchased in I'llle Rousse. The beauty of Corsica is that the island is not so much a tourist attraction as a visitors discovery.

Village Shops
Speloncato has a small village shop – open mornings until midday. Here you will find essential foods including cheese, eggs, hams, butter, fresh vegetables and fruit. You can order bread from here to be collected each day except Tuesdays when the shop is closed. There are other village shops at Ochiatana, Villa di Paraso, Belgodere and Feliceto and a local butcher on the main road which bypasses Nessa. They will be closed between 12 noon and late afternoon.
Other Shopping Facilities
Petrol - Make sure you fill up with petrol on the coast road. The nearest main petrol stations are at L’Ille Rousse.
Most of the villages have post offices with limited facilities (normally open mornings only, Mon - Fri) including Speloncato. There is a larger post office at L’Ille Rousse, as well as a good selection of banks, cashpoints, 2 supermarkets and a daily market at the main square. There are also several tabacs and cafes/restaurants and a tourist office. (A small train goes from L’Ile Rousse to Calvi, stopping at all the beaches in between, several times a day.)
Most supermarkets are open all day, Monday to Saturday (closed Sunday) during July and August but watch out for the French/Corsican system of very long closures for lunch with other shops. Only restaurants are likely to be open between 12 noon and 3 p.m.
There is a Spar supermarket and Boulangerie between Ostraconi Plage and Lozari Plage, just before the junction to Belgodere and Speloncato. Open 7am to 7pm every day of the week. Very useful. Excellent fresh vegetable and meat counter. Lovely steaks.
Birdwatchers will be very interested in the number of Red Kites in our valley, a large proportion of all Kites resident in Corsica. As you sit on the balcony you will see the Kites flying above and below you. There are also Ravens and Buzzards, Eagles, Peregrines and other Raptors. You may be lucky to see a Blue Rock Thrush if you walk along the village path towards the rocks that overlook the valley. Jays and Greater Spotted Woodpeckers constantly fly from one side of the valley to the other and back again. Swifts, Swallows and Crag Martins indulge in a wonderful feeding frenzy in the early evenings. En route to the coast look out for Bee Eaters and Hoopoe. Rollers have been sighted in the Regino Valley. Ophean and Sardinian Warblers often find cover in the trees and hedges nearby. You may be pleased to know that there are no poisonous snakes in Corsica. The flowers and wildlife here are constantly fascinating, and you barely need move from your sun lounger to appreciate the sheer variety.
Food and Drink:-
Water
Tap water is drinkable but it is your choice if you prefer to drink bottled water. We recommend you have a pack of bottled water for emergencies and for taking to the beach etc. Keep water in the car. Always take water with you when travelling or walking.
Corsican Produce
You’ll enjoy trying the excellent Corsican produce (cheeses, olive oil, dried/smoked meat & sausages, Chestnut honey and wine etc.). Do try:
Renucci wine (& olive oil) – shop on the left as you enter Feliceto.
Olive oil from the shop on the left after the railway track at Regino.
Corsican cheeses (beware, they can be very strong!). The hard cheeses are lovely with fig jam.
Meat from the Boucherie on the main road below Nessa (local beef is very tasty, but buy fillet for tenderness).
The pillared market at L’Ille Rousse is fun, fresh, but a bit more expensive than the supermarkets. Nicer for shopping though. They close up at 12midday.
L’Eclerc Supermarket on top road out of L’Ille Rousse is big, easy parking, sells everything you need including very good fresh fish, Corsican produce, good cheeses etc and is cheaper than Casino. Casino is the small supermarket in L’Ille Rousse (Better veg than L’Eclerc but a bit more expensive) You can park free of charge under the plane trees alongside Casino/Welldoms (Bricolage). There is also a pay car park round the corner from Casino.
Eating Out
We like to eat out low-cost and often and enjoy the Bar/Brasserie du Port at L’Ille Rousse (very good value ‘menu’, best when there are no ferries in). For a more special lunch/dinner, our favourite is L'Escale in the road to the left of the covered market. In Calvi, we like Le Capuccino at the Marina. There are two bars at Speloncato and one Restaurant. There is also a bar Bar at Ville di Paraso (which often serves food, especially pizzas, in July and August). A Pastuella at Monticello has a good reputation. Auberge De Tessa (on the way to Lozari Beach through the valley) serves copious quantities of good Corsican food – set menu including all drinks too. As a general rule choose busy restaurants … there are many mediocre ones in Corsica. Your guide books may be useful, but could be out of date.
SOME THINGS TO DO…
Swim and have lunch (or an early dinner) at the café on the beach at Lozari Bay.
Take a cold bottle of wine and some olives to the beach late in the day (after a siesta?) and swim as the sun sets on a (by then) nearly deserted beach.
Climb up to our village square via the steps and enjoy an early evening drink in the square at one of the two bars before returning to the house for dinner on the balcony as you watch the sun go down behind the mountains and sea.
Drive to the mountain pass above Speloncato for a walk along the paths of Monte Tollu, have a drink, lunch or a simple early dinner. There is a very good restaurant on the Coll and they are open for Sunday lunch. Drive on past the Coll to Olmi Capella or take the vermicular road to the Tartagine valley where you can swim in the mountain streams. Don’t be put off by the narrow road. Just take it easy and enjoy the scenery. It’s well worth the effort. There is an auberge at the end of your journey and you can park there too.
There is also the Cirque de Bonifatu in the other direction towards Calvi where you can climb high into the mountains. Good paths, directions and cool mountain rivers. There is an Auberge at the start of the walks where one can park.
Visit Calvi – walk round the Citadelle before it gets too hot, have lunch at one of the waterfront restaurants, swim on the way home – at the far end of the bay if it’s crowded (children will love the gently shelving beach and the shade of the pine trees.) Or visit the chapel on the hill and look down on Calvi Bay.
Take the little train from L’Ille Rousse to Calvi – past all the beaches – or even to Bastia for the day
If it’s not too hot, consider a day trip to St Florent, the old Port of Bastia, Erbalunga, or Corte Museum, an overnight stay at Centuri (Cap Corse) or Piana (Le Roche Rouges) or a couple of nights at Bonifacio. However, if you’re in Corsica for just a week, don’t be tempted to try to do too much, or overdose on bendy roads. It can be exhausting and you miss out on all the local experiences. You just have to come back again and again.
